Start Your Pottery Journey

Our Pottery Classes Christchurch NZ are perfect if you want to try pottery in a friendly, low-pressure space. Each class lasts two hours and runs in small groups. You’ll spend most of your time getting hands-on:

Wheel throwing basics: Learn how to center clay on the wheel, open the clay, and pull the walls up to form simple shapes.

Hand-building methods: Try pinch pots, coil building and slab work to make sculptures, dishes or decorative pieces.

Trimming and finishing: See how to trim the bottom, smooth the edges and prepare your piece for firing.

Glazing and firing: Learn to dip or brush glazes and find out how kiln temperatures and firing schedules affect your result.
